At the end of our lives looking back, what will most matter are the moments of loving presence in our relationships. Yet as so many have experienced, our relationships are also often the source of insecurity and defendedness, hurt and betrayal.

During this daylong workshop we will explore the beliefs and feelings that separate us from each other and the meditative practices that enable us to cultivate genuine bonds of trust, understanding, intimacy and love.

Our time together will include talks, experiential reflections and meditations, journaling and periods for questions and sharing.

True Refuge: Three Gateways to Peace and Freedom

Description:

We spend many moments in a trance of feeling separate from others, and fearful of loss and failure. Yet we intuit a deeper potential: to live from presence, to love without holding back.

This workshop explores how, in the face of even life’s greatest challenges, you can discover a sanctuary of wisdom and equanimity in your own awakened heart. Through meditation, talks, guided exercises and questions/sharing, you will learn how to recognize and release the fears, judgments and limiting beliefs that separate you from loving awareness.

The day is open to beginning and experienced meditators, as well as health professionals who want to use these skills with their clients.
